Mourinho Once Made Ronaldo Cry In The Dressing Room – Modric

Real Madrid legend Luka Modric has named Jose Mourinho as the toughest manager of his illustrious career. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Mourinho is so intense that he once made Cristiano Ronaldo cry in the Real Madrid dressing room, so he is definitely the strictest of all coaches.

Modric, however, hailed Jose for doing everything possible to make him a Madrid player.

His words, “[He is] special. As a coach and as a person. He was the one who wanted me at Real Madrid. Without Mourinho, I would never have arrived. I’m sorry I only had him for one season.

I saw him (Mourinho) make Cristiano Ronaldo cry in the locker room, a man who gives his all on the pitch, because for once he didn’t chase the opposing full-back. Mourinho is very direct with the players, but he’s honest. He treated Sergio Ramos and the new arrivals the same way: if he had to tell you something, he’d tell you. Max (Allegri, Modric’s current Milan manager) is like that too: he tells you to your face what’s right and what’s wrong. Honesty is fundamental.

Allegri has an incredible personality. He’s a bit like (Carlo) Ancelotti: sensitive, funny, and loves to play pranks. But on the pitch, as a coach, he’s a master. He knows football like few others. I didn’t know him that well, but I’m happy he’s my coach now.”

WOW.

Jose Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Italian Serie A club Roma. Dubbed “The Special One” by the British media, Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers ever and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time.

Mourinho was born in 1963 to a large middle-class family in Setúbal (a suburb of the Lisbon metropolitan area), Portugal, the son of José Manuel Mourinho Félix, who was known by the name Félix Mourinho, and his wife, Maria Júlia Carrajola dos Santos. His father played football professionally for Belenenses and Vitória de Setúbal, earning one cap for Portugal in the course of his career.

His mother was a primary school teacher from an affluent background; her uncle funded the construction of the Vitória de Setúbal football stadium. The Carnation Revolution leading to the fall of António de Oliveira Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in April 1974 also led to the family losing all but a single property in nearby Palmela.
